The numbers are how Vietnamese Americans have traditionally voted. This year, however, Republicans got positively slaughtered in all the heavily Vietnamese places. It's what happens when you tell your voters to self-deport.We're talking 40 point swings here.

It's surprising that no counties in the deep South switched to Romney, and instead Obama actually gained some. Looks the Black population is slowly rising in its proportion of the population, and we might see many more blue counties in states like Mississippi and Alabama a few decades from now.

The map is incorrect. Chattahoochee county, GA flipped from Obama to Romney.

That being said, the Republicans are just about maxed out the number of counties they can win in the south. It's quite polarized down there by racial lines. It's not so much the black population growing but that black turnout ticked up a little in MS/LA and white turnout dipped slightly

Okay this write in thing is bothering me. In some states Dave is counting ALL write ins whether it was a certified candidate or not. In others he's only counting certified ones. In other states no write ins are counted yet. I feel like it should be uniform.

I'm still not sure if I should count Obama at 50.01 or 49.91 in Florida!

Is it sad that as a Democrat I'm upset that the GOP can't manage to run a caucus properly?Iowa, Maine both "finding" delegates and votes for Romney(Maine) or not being able to count the votes(Iowa)... makes wonder if the 2012 GOP race was rigged...

Coming from someone whose state couldn't count 400,000 votes until 8 weeks after the election? That makes me wonder...

My undergraduate senior thesis class was on Presidential transition. The money was well spent because had Romney won the transition period would have been a very important time for which proper planning was needed

Doubtful. She'd lose WV, KY and TN by single digits at best. She'd probably win Arkansas in a very narrow surprise, kind of like when Obama won NC in 2008. Louisiana is long gone for the Democrats.

This erroneous thinking stems from many Democrats' belief that Obama did so badly in WV, TN, AR, MO, KY because he's black. Its not. It's because he's a DEMOCRAT, a far left one at that. Hillary could possibly get back above 40% in some of those states but they will still be Republican by at least 10%

He's been my least favorite governor on the Dem side for awhile now...this just cements that sediment...

I don't get people who feel strongly for keeping the death penalty. I mean it's one thing to say "okay, we should leave this option open", but another thing entirely to be all "let's kill people, yeah!"

Because when someone commits heinous murder, as many Marylanders do, they should be dealt severe punishment.

We have de-facto repeal here anyway thanks to O'Malley's stupid law which makes it almost impossible to use the death penalty. I think there must be video tape evidence to even have a chance

This surprised me a bit. I think there are Democrats moving into the Severn, Laurel area and commuting to DC from there. Personally I have two Obama voting friends that moved from downtown Baltimore to Annapolis. That accounted for 2 of the votes in Obama's swing
